The Landscape Of Presbyopia Correction With IOLs

KEY TAKEAWAY POINTS

Presbyopia represents an increasing medical challenge world-wide

Utilization rate of presbyopia correcting IOLs (PCIOLs) during cataract surgery remains low

Current available PCIOLs include the accommodating, multifocal/trifocal, EDOF (diffractive and nondiffractive), and hybrid of EDOF/MF IOLs

For cataract patients who desire high spectacle independence and are able to tolerate some level of visual disturbances, full range vision IOLs such as PanOptix® trifocal IOL may be considered

For patients who are concerned about potential visual disturbances, the wavefront-shaping EDOF AcrySof IQ VivityTM IOLs are an excellent choice, which provides extended range of vision from distance to functional near with a low incidence of visual disturbances.
